So, they're well armed, Daryl's at the wheel of a 10 ton truck, with only 8 or 10 bikers lined up stationary in middle of road like bowling pins, and he stops? And not only that, after being verbally threatened, they all get out to powwow? Puleeese.... - OS4 points

Haha! I love the reactions. :-) What you see is what a crazy sense of humor and a complete lack of pride can do to a man, haha! The story take place in an old gold mining town's saloon, and I'm going to be playing a grizzled old miner who is a small part of the story, but also the narrator. I get that some folks are too high-brow to enjoy a little tongue-in-cheek goofiness and will scoff at this kind of thing. That's cool. Plenty of other folks are just crazy enough to laugh at it too, and maybe show up to take in another twist on how Jesus' birth at Christmas was not only a great event in its time, but a story of personal salvation for anyone who will accept Him. :-)3 points

I don't have one but I have seen in older homes in Cincinnati a Steel rod that had a plate in the flooring to hold the bottom and a plate in the door to hold the other end. I doubt you can break through them. A simpler solution would be a 2x4 that slips into brackets on the frame (assuming your door opens in) If it opens out then add brackets to the door itself. If the burglar is determined the best you can do is hope to slow them down.2 points

My Santa shops this early ... My wife is always saying there isn't a "safe" way to combine two particular interests of mine ... guns and bourbon/whiskey. Well Santa had the right answer with his gift: whiskey bullets! And also a credit card survival tool I had mentioned in a thread some time back. I couldn't be more pleased with my Santa. He did a great job!! :) thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk2 points

I heard this super cool and PC religious club called ISIS is giving them out for free all you have to do is renounce your God and your citizenship! The Caliphate doesnt have Form 4s either. You get a state sponsored bride and "baggage" boy. Free explosives. You get to read this cool action adventure novel called the Qur'an too its sweet bro. ....dont do that Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk2 points

The new manufacture XTP stuff from Freedom should be quite comparable to the XTP loads from Hornady. Same bullet, comparable powder load with bout same claimed velocity. I've had no trouble with Freedom's reloaded stuff. I see them about the same as Georgia Arms' Canned Heat, have shot a lot of that too. Georgia Arms also offers new manufacture stuff with Speer's latest highfalutin SD bullet, a similar type deal to Freedom's Hornady bullet, and I've shot some of that too, and have some stashed besides. I'd posit the higher end stuff you got from Freedom is going to be just as reliable and effective, and worth what you paid. edit: btw, Freedom has 5% off with free shipping for today's Cyber Monday. The cheaper stuff pretty well picked over already, but I did get 500 rounds of new .223 soft point, been meaning to score some for my AR pistol configs after all the Russian plants seem to have quit making it. - OS2 points

The arguement was that some prosecutor could try to argue you wanted to kill someone (or a similiar asinine assertion) by carrying hand loads. That is a load of crap. You can use that arguement for the use of lights, optics, night sights, compensators and what have you. End of the day is if you are confident in your reloads and they offer the best performance in your EDC then carry them. However being that you dont reload just carry some premium HD ammo. I dont care about advanced statistics and data - a .22LR will put someone down with good shot placement. Personally I reload quite a bit but always carry Hornady Crit Defense rds for my 9mm, 357SIG and 45ACP Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk2 points

I've had my own reloads fail to fire, probably due to bad primers. I've had factory target ammo fail to fire and to come apart in my pocket. I've never had any problem with premium carry ammo from Winchester, Remington and Federal. That's why I carry the expensive stuff - my life is worth it.2 points

The past few months have sucked a little more than others, having lost our 10-year-old male Doberman and our 10-year-old female Boston Terror [sic] within two months of each other. Bostons are highly social animals and become very attached to their people and to other animals that live with them. The vet says the Boston passed after the Doberman pretty much due to grief and depression. Very sad. After the Doberman passed, and before the Boston stopped eating, we contacted a few local rescues to see if we could find her another "big dog" friend. Sadly none of them responded to us quickly enough. MrsMonkeyMan put us in touch with a wonderful lady who owns a combination training org, breeder AND rescue of Dutch Shepherds and we seriously considered that as an option although my uncle in VA, a retired SWAT officer, K9 handler and trainer, told us that a Dutchie might be a little more "high octane" than we wanted. Others here with experience with the breed echoed those concerns in this thread too. While a Dutch Shep is not off the table entirely for us, one of the local rescues did get back in touch with us. To make a long story short, here is our new fur baby. We call her "Mina" as it's a perfectly good German name for a perfectly good German lass. She's about 5 years old and is even pedigreed. She learned her name quickly, has chosen me as "her person" in the family, and watches over our 2-yr old daughter like a guardian. She even endures my daughter laying on top of her. (I'm pretty sure she enjoys it)2 points

I got to meet Trickynicky yesterday for a short but pleasant visit. He brought me a larger monitor I needed and we visited a few minutes. It was raining and he was kind of in a hurry but great guy for sure. He was in a hurry cause he was all packed up and moving to Atlanta and just stopped long enough to drop off the monitor. He said he will be back on site soon as he gets settled in Atlanta............. :up: :up:1 point

now we are on to endless ammo supplies. if not for my grandson who is easily fooled by the crap in this show that is unbelievable I'd have given up on this show before now. At best next half of a season it will get watched other than Sunday night. Doesn't GoT start up around then? At any rate I can disconnect from possible or plausible over Zombies. But the the other stuff such as gasoline, ammo, fully auto AK's, 6 shot Ruger's, not running over bikers, I just can't get past. The production value of this show is for crap. So Zombies skulls are especially soft but their fingers can tear through flesh and back muscles like it is paper mache? I just can't buy in anymore. Not to mention Ace marksmenship with handguns. Hell they are all expert shots when first holding a gun. Deanna was picking them off and we know darn well she would have been a libtard gun grabber who has never shot before. But a hardened girl, ten feet from a bad guy doesn't feel she can take a head shot and hit her target? They can hit zombies on the run but not a stationary target? I feel the next half of the season is going to be rehashed times with the Governor and Woodbury. Sorry got long winded there, LOL (corrected some auto correct stuff)1 point

In the comics, he becomes instrumental to addressing their ammo shortage. I would like them to include this just so a wider audience can get exposed to the idea of reloading.1 point

I figured by now he would have either manned up or snapped. I don't see him being around much longer as he pretty much brings nothing to the table.1 point

Even if you get the paint off you need to grind the surface of a garage before you reapply something else. They burnish garage floors to much when poured.1 point

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. My oldest is a huge fan, because dad got him to watch them, but thats another story. I plan on taking him, but even if there was not the crap going on and the state of the world, we would not be going until a week/ten days after it comes out and then only to a matinee. For several reasons, I HATE crowds and there always seems to be a ahole making noise or on their phone or some such if there are more than a handful of people in the theater, and the matinee is cheaper although it will still cost us $20. So to answer the question, I would not be surprised to hear something happened opening night/ weekend, and probably by some nutjob that wants to hear his name as opposed to a terrorist attack.1 point

Maybe all the Sith Lords will keep them at bay? It seems pretty high profile for them - for a France style at least - suicide bombers maybe. I dont do movies, but it is a very real possibility Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk1 point

UPDATE: I got the M&P Fullsize 9mm new with 3 17rd mags for $398. Quantico Tactical has them priced at that for Military , Law Enforcement , and First Responders . WOW this trigger is way better than I remember my older M&P being.It is even the same or a little better than my Shield. The trigger reset is just awesome now , almost , not quite the same but darn close to the Glock reset . I am pleased.1 point

Got ya. I thought maybe that's what you meant. I wanted those for a bit but I was afraid of that very thing. Dolomite posted a recipe for a mixture of glow in the dark paint he uses on his sites that I have yet to try but need to. If I can find it I'll link it, sounds like it may work to paint on your diamondheads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1 point

Hey folks get real. The guy is 10 ft away. How close is acceptable. She didn't know him, gotta believe he was bigger than her, flimsy excuse to get closer and yea I would probably done the same but kept quite and not pointed the weapon directly at him until I was sure he was coming closer. I'm in my 70's, can't run or jump anymore and I'm not going to be a victim. I had rather take my chances in a courtroom than in a parking lot. If it were my wife, I would be giving her accolades for her vigilance. 10 ft and closing leaves no time to guess what he's up to, give the lady a break and try to put yourself in that predicament. Her reaction could have been different but the action she took may have prevented something a lot worse than facing a jury. You gotta hold the guy responsible for doing stupid stuff.1 point

Best performance would be from a 67gr or 69gr bullet. But honestly for short range (under 100m) ive used 55gr .223, XM193 and XM855 and they have perform very well. Granted that was against bottles and bowling pins at 25 and 50yds with the 55grs. I noticed some keyholes past 100. 62s did just fine. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk1 point

FWIW I've painted basement floors with a good epoxy paint with pretty good results and liked the look. But with that said I'd rent a good high pressure self heating hot water pressure washer and thoroughly strip the floor. Once clean I'd lay a good tile floor down, keeping an extra box or two of replacement tiles.1 point

If you aren't hunting or competition shooting with it, the S&W M&P 22 Compact is hard to beat, best of its kind IMO. MSRP is $389. I have seen them for $299 new in the gun shop. A bit over budget, but it is hard to find a quality and durable .22 pistol. Or look at a Ruger Mark 2/3 or a Buckmark. Don't be afraid to buy a used one.The ruger will last many lifetimes.1 point

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not calling you out or anything, but I'm having a very difficult time accepting she's not much of a shooter. This may also come off as a sexist comment as well, but typically, no lady is gonna grab an automatic rifle and have that much control. Muzzle discipline, trigger finger, leaning into it, she's really got it under control. I know it may not recoil like a BAR but I have seen multitudes of grown men at Knob Creek with much less control than she exhibits. She's quite capable and/or you are a helluva instructor.1 point

I always find this viewpoint intriguing (seriously). Personally, I can't imagine limiting myself to only places I can get to by car. The world is a big place and has a lot to see/do. I personally think that if more people would see more of the world they may have a different view on a lot of things. A cruise is a great way to see multiple locations very cheaply in the grand scheme of things. Don't get me wrong, if you are happy not going, I would say don't go. But I have met very few people who once they went truly didn't like it. Yes, you can have a bad vacation for various circumstances doing anything, but I believe people are missing out on some of the most amazing places in the world if you take a stance of never flying. To each his own. That's what makes the world go round :up: .1 point
